Fresh, Loose, Suggestive and Painterly are the qualities I strive for in my work. Take a look at my blog posts as I share my discoveries of making interesting art and keeping it simple.

Picklefest 2016 Sketches by Larry Lerew

Stopped in at Picklefest 2016, Dillsburg, PA this morning and had fun with a few sketches. There were reenactors everywhere and a steel band playing. Beautiful morning! I think some of my sketches will deserve more development in the studio and perhaps be great reference for a future painting. After a half dozen sketches I warmed up and the guy playing the bass drums was getting interesting with looking one way and playing in the other direction in the round. The broom maker was interesting how he fit into his work station and the easy movements he was making. Only spent a few minutes on each sketch but that's all I wanted to spend to capture the feel of the event.

About Me

I love a good look, a good story, a good feeling. I've learned as an artist it's my job to share these beautiful things I discover with others using color, line and design in my paintings and drawings.
Constantly practicing and improving my skills since my early days at York Academy of Arts has been adventurous. My art has grown over the decades and now gives me a personal freedom of expression.
Please follow along as I take on new art challenges, at I must say a slower pace, than I did in my youth. I plan to post here often and share my thoughts. Please comment and enjoy the journey.
